CLC175US12 datasheet by XP Power

CLC175US12 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum capacitance tolerance for the input filter capacitors?
  The maximum capacitance tolerance for the input filter capacitors is ±20%.
• Can I use a different type of input capacitor other than the recommended X7R or X5R?
  While it's technically possible, it's not recommended as the performance and reliability of the converter may be affected. X7R or X5R capacitors are recommended for optimal performance.
• What is the maximum ambient temperature for reliable operation?
  The maximum ambient temperature for reliable operation is 40°C, with derating required above 30°C.
• Can I use the CLC175US12 in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the CLC175US12 is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10G, but it's recommended to follow the recommended PCB layout and mounting guidelines to ensure reliable operation.
• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance?
  A recommended PCB layout is provided in the datasheet, which includes a thermal pad and a minimum of 2oz copper thickness to ensure optimal thermal performance.
